and  Ihe  élément  of  danger  froni  flyirtg  crariks  lemoved  entirely, 
the  -screvv  holding  the  load  positively  when  raised.  The  Jack^ 
are  light  and  easily  handled,  and  the  points  of  excellence  so  valu- 
ablein  our  Railway  Jacks  are  equally.  impo/rtant  in  yard  and 
polishing  shop  woïk,  oHn  logging  sefvice,  or  elsewhere,  and  the 
form  of  the  Jack  is  espiécially  fitted  for  beginning  the  lift  with  the

^  This  Jack  is  intended  for  carrying  on  locomotives,  for*  put- 
ting  in  brasses,  and  yard  work. 

It  can  be  placed  almost  instantly  and  works  very  rapidly. 
The  screw  being  protected,  it  nevei-  gets  rusty  and  useless  from 
exposure  on  the  engine,  as  is  so  often  the  case  with  common 
Bottle  Jack's,  but  is  always  ready  for  use. 

Brasses  can  be  changed  in  half  the  time.,  and  miich  ea.sier, 
than  witb  the  old  style  Jack.  ' 

Every  engine  running,  and  every  car  shop,  should  bç  sup- 
plied  with  thèse  Jacks.  V

NORTON  IMPROVED  COMPOUND  JACK. 


In  întrocUieing  the  ahove  Jacks,  we  wouldbriefly  call  atten- 
tion to  a  féw  of  the  many,  advantages  they  possess  qver  any  «ther 
Jacks  now  in  use,  especiîilly  for  Rail>\avyor  heavy  work. 

They  combine  thç  threegreatest4)oVveis  known  in  Mechani- 
cal  Sciçnce,  the  Lever j  Screw  and  Gears,  with  the  three  giçatest 
éléments  of  success,  Simplicity,  Durability  and  Cfaeapness. 

The  superiority  pf  the, Screw  ôyer.any  other  method  for  Hft- 
ing,  and  especially  lowering,  heiv*'}-  weights,  i«  too  \yell  known 
to  require  comment  hère. 

The  Norton  Jacks  are  Screw  Jacks',  operated  with  a  Ratchet 
Lever,  hhving  the  up  and  down  or  "  Pump  Handie"  motion, 
found  .sô  convenient  in  Hydraulic  Jacks.  They  are  ail  con- 
structçd  with  patent  Safety  Stop  Motion,  preventing  înjuji-yto 
Jack  of  load  by  running  the  screw  out  of  the  nut.      •  ^ 

For  lightncss\,  speedy  safety  y  ease  in  operating^  cheapness., 
durability  and  gênerai  utility  they  st^pd  without  ^  rival. 

The  Norton  Ball-bearing  Jack»  are  sold  at  priées  much  below 
the  Hydraulic,  with  which  they  succ^ssfully  compete  for  heayy 
work  in  locomotive  sljops  and  bridge  building;  and  without 
Ball-bearing,  at  so  nearly  the  côstof  the  ordinary  Screw  Jack 
that  when  their  value  and'conVenience  at^  compared  with  thèse, 
true  economy  is  greatly  in  favor  of  (heir  pti|:chase  and  use,  as  in- 
dicated  by  the  following  suggestions,  which  do  npt  overstate  their

Norton  Jack. 


The  coiuhioti  Sciew  Jack  imist  hâve  a  larj^c  screw  to  support 
its  load;  the  X^^rtoii  docs  tliis  by  a  standard  aiul  sliell,  t'ull\  siip\ 
porttng  a  small,-casily-working  screw. 

*  When  the  scicw  of  thc  comnion  J^ick  is  well  nui  out,  hcavilv 
loaded,  bcing  uusupported,  ît  is  li.qhliTto  bending  of  "upscttiug," 
or  stri^ing  the  threads,  thereby  rcndenng  it  useless.  With  thc 
Norton  Jack  this  cannot  occur,  the  shell  taking  ail  the  side  strain 
and  also  preventing  ail  injury  tf)  the  screw. 

,  The  screw  of  the  common  Jack,  exposed  to  gases,  «lirt  and 
grit,  at>d  the  action  of  the  weather,  is  soon  destroyed  by'wear 
and  corjosion,  \vhile  the  Norton  is  so  encloscd  J)v   thc    shell  that 

'  it  çannot  be  spoiled  by  grit  or  rust,  and  reniains  for  nionths  with- 
out  care,  readv  for  instant  use.       ' 

The  common  Screw  Jack  retjuires  continuakj^hanges  of  levers 
in  use,  their  position  is  awkward,  and  the  sci(Ê^ruris  up  slowly  ; 
while  the  Nortonjs  quickly  set  in  place,  op^pted  '  rapidly  and 
easily,  making  a  great  saving  in  time  and  montfy. 

The  common  S<îre^- Jack  requires  consi(lëral>le  space  hori- 
zontally  to  work  the  levers  ;  the  Norton  will  \iork  nicely  in  ex- 
tremely  small  spaces,  where  the  common  Jack  cannot  be  used, 
and  on  any  side, —  a  great  object  in  shop  or  car  work. 

<  '' .  The  common  Screw  Jack  often  requires  di  ^

iMPORtANT  TO  RAILWAY  MEN.       ; 

Your  attention  is  calle^-to  /Ae  exceedingly  low  List  Priées 
at  which  the  Ball-bearijfig  Jacks  are  placed. 

They  are  made  of  the  best"  malléable  iron,  with  steel  gears 
arid  phosphor  bronze  huts,  and  the  balls  and  bearing  plates  and 
ail  other  parts  are  ôf  the  best  material  and  workmanship. 

They  do  any  and  ail  work  that  can  be  donc  by  Hydraulic 
Jacks,  and  as  easiUi  wjthout  expense  fo^  alcohpl  or-uepairs,  and 
are  readily  operated  and  perfectly  safe  even  in  the  hands  pf  un- 
skilled  men.  , 

Each  p^rt  is  interchangeable,  and  in.  case  ,of  breakage  cah  be 
replaced  at  triflîjig  cost,  while  their  price  is  niuch  less  than  tt^at 
of  Hydraulics.        ^_  ,    '  ^  \ 

Our  Railway  Jacks,  withoiij  ball-bearing,  which  havè  berfii  in 
Use  on  thè  Canadîan  Pacific  Rîulway  for  the  past  three  years  (see 
itimonial),  are  made  of  same  material  as  the  Ball-bearing,  and 
Atk  much  cheaper.  In  fact,  they  çtre  the  cheapest  Ratchet  Jacks 
««Me  tuorld^  being  no  dearer  than  the -old-fashioned  Sçrew  Jack 
of  tWi  same' material  and  capacity. 

it  the  same  t;me,  one  man  can  do  more  work,  and  do  it 
easiei  with  the  Norton  Jack,  than  two  with  the  Screw  or  Bottle 
Jack. 

'se  extrcmely  low  priées  are  rtade  as  en  induecment  to 
Railvmy  Companies^  in  full  confidence  that  when  once  tested  in 
pr^c^cal  work,  the  saving  of  time  and  labor  will  be  so  apparent, 
that  în  every  branch  of  their  ser\ice  where  jacks  are  required, 
the  Norton  Jiick  yvill  be  specified  and  iised  in  prefe;rence  to

This  Jack  is  intencled  for  carrying  on  locomotives,  for  put- 
ting  in  brasses,  and  yard  work. 

It  can  be  placed  almost  insta'ntly  and  Works  very  rapidly. 
The  screw  being  protectecî,  it  never  gets  rusty  and  useless  froui 
exposure  on  the  engine,  as  is  so  often  the  case  with  common 
Bohle  Jacks,  but  is  always  ready  for  use. 

Brassés  can  be  changed  in  half  the  time,  and  much  easier, 
than  with  the  old  style  Jack. 

■  Every  engine  running,  and  every  car  shop,  should   be  sup- 
plied  with  thèse  Jacks.  *
